PRAISE for THE BIRTH PARTNER

Penny Simkin shows how giving support in childbirth is not only a matter of helping a woman through labor and delivery important though that is but also of enabling her to cherish a meaningful memory of birth. Sheila Kitzinger, author of Rediscovering Birth and The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth

A clearly written book that describes what really happens in our maternity units. I recommend it highly for both parents and a supportive friend. Marshall Klaus, M.D., author of Bonding, Your Amazing Newborn and Mothering the Mother
